In this workshop, the “Cyanotoad” collective offers participants the chance to create beautiful blue images using the ancient photographic technique of cyanotype. We’ll be using light-sensitive paper, sunlight, water, and natural stencils such as leaves, twigs, and other objects. Each child will be able to take home at least two images.
